Visit the Design Media Kickstart board

To help new design students better prepare for studio life in this online environment, and to help ongoing design students brush up on their skills, we have developed a Miro Board titled “Design Media Kickstart”. That board is available to all of our students and offers a wealth of resources designed to demystify some of the tools and techniques you will be learning and relying on in your future life as both students and practitioners of design.
